Title:
  libvirt: Leverage xpath  instead of  searching manully

Status in OpenStack Compute (nova):
  Won't Fix

Bug description:
  libvirt use xml format to create/describe  domain, add/delete devices.  There are some codes  hadle xml search by manul
  like:

  ret = doc.findall('./devices/disk')
      for node in ret:
          for child in node.getchildren():
              if child.tag == 'target':
                  if child.get('dev') == device:
                      return etree.tostring(node)
  that  can be handled by xpath like:

  node = doc.find("./devices/disk/target[@dev='%s'].." % device)
  if node is not None:
      return etree.tostring(node)

  More complicated code convert  xml to  config instance. then search manully, like: 
  from https://github.com/openstack/nova/blob/master/nova/virt/libvirt/driver.py#L2924
  to https://github.com/openstack/nova/blob/master/nova/virt/libvirt/driver.py#L2932
